Do you know the word kiasu? If not, then be kiasu and google it. You’ll get more than a million hits and learn that, usually associated (联系) with Singaporeans, it means “to be afraid of losing out”. You’ll come across words such as kiasu parents, kiasu companies and even kiasu apps.

Just 40 years ago, the word first spread among men in the Singapore army. But before long, it had entered everyday Singapore English.

The first formal use of kiasu happened in 1990 in a government document (公文). Since then it has often been seen in Singapore newspapers. It spread to some other countries in southeast Asia, too. In 1992, Malaysia’s New Straits Times wrote of “kiasu parents providing their children with much more materials than necessary”.

Ten years after its first use in print, the word was used worldwide. Since around 2000, kiasu has appeared in British newspapers. The Guardian, in 2001,reported how “this pursuit of material wealth and the strong need to be No.1 has created the Singaporean we hear so much about---the kiasu Singaporean”, and again reported in 2004 that Singaporeans’ value shows how much they feel the need to stay ahead of everyone else and that they have a word for it: kiasu.The word entered the Urban Dictionary in 2003 and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2007.In the the same year, Singaporean restaurant Kiasu opened in London.

The turning point on kiasu’s road to the ma instream came with its being used in documents and newspapers. Who dared to use kiasu in a government document? Who first used it in a newspaper? It was these people who pushed kiasu into the mainstream.

38.What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to use the word kiasu.

B. What the word kiasu means.

C. The history of the word kiasu.

D. The importance of the word kiasu.

39. What marked the wide use of the word kiasu around the world?

A. Its appearance in British papers.

B. Its use as the name of a restaurant.

C. Its acceptance by a key document.

D. Its description in Singapore newspapers.

40. What does the underlined word “pursuit” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. the act of looking for

B. the act of looking out

C. the act of giving up

D. the act of giving out

41. Which of the following statements is true?

C. Kiasu was never formally used in any government document.

He's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street, he'll fix them for you right away.”

But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”

“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” -- without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.

My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.”

I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.

“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work. ”

When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.

These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old, way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on wo rk as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.

42. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler.'?

A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.

B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.

C. He was proud of his skills.

D. He was a native Parisian.

43. The underlined sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” im plies that .A. the man was too old

B. it was difficult to communicate with this man

C. the man was very strange

D. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him

44. According to the author, many people work just to .

A. realize their abilities

B. gain happiness

C. make money

D. gain respect

45. This story wants to tell us that .

A. craftsmen make a lot of money

B. whatever you do, do it well

C. craftsmen need self-respect

D. people are born equal

Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren't sure where to start. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.

Think twice before you decide

The decisions you make may go a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian(素食的) diet. If you aren't ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies that have illegal(违法的) practices.

Help speak the word out

Speaking the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important problems of animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we're facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.

Write a letter

We've all heard the saying, " The pen is more powerful than the sword". Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won't buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者) to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.

Be more loving

If you're considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet

over-population, as well as giving your money to those who look after poor animals.

Let your actions be an example to others

It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living animals with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid entertainment places that use animals to perform. Support legislation (立法)that protects animals. All of these things set an
